Paola Calace

Paola is the perfect teacher: always interesting to talk to about everything, patient, friendly, intelligent and knowledgeable. The different subjects and materials she brings to class are always fascinating - from poetry and literature to history or world news - and she knows how to adapt her lessons to my interests and needs. The past few lessons in which we translated poems from Latin to Italian have been a delight. I always look forward to our weekly class :) Grazie Paola! 🙏

I love her classes so much! It is fantastic to learn so much about Roman history in Italian! She knows so so much, and it is enjoyable to listen to all of her stories about Ancient Rome and modern Italy!!! I can’t wait for my next class!

È stato molto bello fare questa chiacchierata. Grazie per aver portato un argomento così interessante!

Studying Italian with Paola has been truly delightful. I felt immediately comfortable with her as she is so patient, clear, gentle with corrections, and easy to talk to. I appreciate how quickly she picked up on my interests, and as a result I genuinely enjoy doing my homework :) I always look forward to her lessons, Paola is a class act.

Super lesson!

Yet another spectacular lesson. This time we discussed two texts, both of a more or less theoretical nature and concerned with crime and punishment, and with fascinating connections and disconnects between them. Extremely fruitful as points of departure for practice in reading comprehension, in off-the-cuff speaking, and in connecting theory with real-world situations. Superb pedagogy!
